Normally, when Dutch-Moroccan freestyler Soufiane Touzani makes a video, its title includes the word "nutmeg" – or, more typically, the words "insane" and "nutmeg" right next to each other. It's kind of his thing. So, when we saw his new video with French-born professional Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, we assumed Aubameyang was in for a rough couple minutes.
To be fair, we were right about the nutmegging. In the course of a four-minute video, Touzani manages to nutmeg Aubameyang three times. For those of you counting, that's 3/4 nutmegs per minute. And although we might have liked to see an even four, that ain't bad when it comes to nutmeg velocity.
Just when we counted Aubameyang down and out, however, he pulled out some sick freestyle moves of his own, including the rainbow you see at 2:30 here:
As stunned as Touzani seems right after that rainbow maneuver, he's actually a veteran of taking on the pros. On his YouTube channel Touzani TV, he has videos with everyone from Super Mario Balotelli to Bacary Sagna.
Why pros like Aubameyang would want to submit themselves to this punishment, we're not sure. But it sure makes for entertaining viewing.
